Forms Based Authentication Audience

I have seen something somewhere (can't find it now) about creating an audienceof just Forms Based Authentication users. I am trying to set a web part to onlydisplay for Forms Based Authenticated users. I have created a Role that willinclude all FBA users, created a SharePoint permissions group, added the role tothe permissions group, and added that permissions group as the targeted audiencefor a webpart. It doesn't work. The webpart is the change passwordwebpart from the CKS-FBA project. It doesn't do any good to a WindowsAuthenticated users, and my FBA users can't see it, so it winds up being prettymuch useless to me all around. Does anyone have any ideas?

firstly add a FBA user as secondary administrator to you current webapplication via central administrator, and now deploy the webParts andperform audience targeting with this FBA user login.. I'm sure this willwork..

When I tried to click on the link (Central Admin - Application Mamangement -SharePoint Site Management - Site Collection Administrators) I get an errormessage on the _admin/owners.aspx page.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. atMicrosoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SiteAdministrationSelector.DefaultSelectionId() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.ContextSelector`1.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(BooleanincludeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

Even this information is no help. (how many times does the Object referenceerror show up?)

Solved my own issue, somewhat accidentally. I went to my site collection andadded both administrator roles there, then went back to CA and it worked so Iwas able to add my FBA user as a site collection admin.
